your parents could be the ones that are doing it

Give everyone who has access a password, so that anyone else cannot log on. Also set up parental controls in your browsers so that certain sites are filtered and you keep the password for that. Teach your parents about the internet. Use pop-up blockers and get Ad-aware and/or Spybot S&D to make sure you are getting all the hidden programs which may be taking your browser to these sites. Run those programs in safe mode. Take control of your computer.

I hate to break it to you, but, if you're not looking at porn, then your parents are. Even if someone else were "piggybacking" on your connection, the files that they were viewing wouldn't be stored on your computer, but on the computer that they were using to do it.
You might consider having a chat with you parents.
If you'd like to find out for SURE first, install the free KGB Keylogger from www.refog.com/free-keylogger/key-logger.html. It will run secretely in the background and record all keystrokes and all websites visited for all users. You can see for sure what's going on before you talk to the folks!

Sounds like you dont have much security on your PC
I use:
Ad Aware SE
Registry Mechanic
Webroot Spy Sweeper
CC Cleaner
McAfee
Spybot Search and Destroy
Hide Now 2.0
and I frequently run these programs, several times each day.

It could be by bluetooth:so delete the unwanted parent devices ( devises are always shone if they aren't near)
or it could be from the Internet: have a fire wall and add a password to all the users

after hearing ur story, i feel that, ur pc is infected with spyware and malware.. maybe u r infected with adware also... to remove them, download and install spyware doctor, which is the best..
but if u ve genuine windows version, u can use windows bit defender (beta) and microsoft antispyware....
if u cant, then try formatting ur os installed drive and again reinstall os...

I would contact your internet service provider asap and talk to them about it. They will know what to do.
